CheckOut The New Stylish Pope Francis And All About His Wardrobe.

The clothes were left in a room next to the Sistine Chapel known as the 'Room of Tears'.

A made-to-measure outfit will now be made for Francis I and takes up to three days.

The new Pope's outfit will consist of a skirt of ivory wool, a white cassock with sleeves and 33 buttons that symbolise Christ's age.

He will also wear the white skullcap, a pair of red leather shoes and a 'mozzetta', which is worn over the shoulders.

Six pairs of the red shoes - the colour to represent the blood of martyrs - famously worn by retired Pope Benedict XVI were also crafted in advance.

The costs of the papal clothes is not made public.
Gammarell, founded in 1798 Via Santa Chiara, a stone's throw from the Pantheon, in Rome, Italy, are known as the 'santari' or ecclesiastical tailors and work exclusively for the Pope and thousands of priests.
